Gorka says Samantha wasn’t home but her mother was. He says Romney told her that he appreciated her daughter’s courage.

The girl briefly returned to Charles Carroll High School on Tuesday. But her father says she never actually made it to class because she felt uncomfortable. He says Samantha and two other high-school age children in his home will now be transferring to another school.

The teacher has apologized, but hasn’t returned to school as she awaits the results of a school district investigation.
